En esos flashazos de altura donde abordamos temas literarios y musicales, Lluis y yo hablábamos de Cortázar. De ahí derivó la novela hacia la polifonía estilística. Y como señala Lluis, ese atributo en la literatura insinúa escuchar a Bach: El Arte de la Fuga. Y concuerdo, pero también a Gould con "So you want to write a fugue?"

58. Intermedio (in English)
Glenn Gould, pianista excéntrico que muriera en 1982, vive detalles particulares en su vida. Se retira cuando pasaba por la parte más alta de su carrera. A partir de ese momento se dedica a grabar (primordialmente la obra de Bach). Antes de tocar tiene una rutina donde sumergía las manos en agua caliente por unos minutos. Le fascina hablar por teléfono a la noche. Y frente al piano no hay un banco "típico", pero sí SU silla.

Bruno Monsaingeon en conversación con el pianista Glenn Gould (ver video):
- What a strange instrument you have!
- (Glenn seems to understand that I am talking about his piano. He continues to play some notes) I think that it has a quite good sound!
- I am not talking about the piano, I was rather talking about this…this… this thing that I don’t know exactly how to call it ( I pointed the finger to his chair )
- That « thing »! (Glenn simulated to be irritated and began to imitate a half-German and half-French accent) Mister, don’t be so disdainful with a member of the family!
- ??... What do you mean by saying " member of the family ”?
- It is a travel companion, without whom I cannot work, without whom I cannot play. I have been using it for 21 years, this … « thing ”! That we could also classify as chair!
- Did you really perform concerts with it?
- I’ve never given any concert without it; at least for 21 years.
- Do you mean… that it has been closer to you than Bach?
- (Glenn thought for a second)… … Oh, very much closer for telling the truth!

29. Intermedio
Este es el primer movimiento (Toccata) de la Partita 6, BWV 830 de JS Bach.
Probablemente sea una representación de la geometría de los sentidos (!)
Y toca Glenn Gould, un referente elogiado o denostado, pero que implica a Bach, siempre.
Sugiero darle play al video. Observarlo o acaso sólo escuchar la música mientras lees algún post.
